The missing person has been identified as Criselida Alvizu, a white female, born Sept. 20, 1935. Alvizu and her family were visiting the area from Donna, Texas. She left the family and followed a trail back to their vehicle due to her slower gait and not wanting to make them wait for her. They followed a few minutes later. Upon the family’s arrival to the vehicle, they discovered she had not yet arrived. They immediately began looking for her and notified park employees who began a search. Search crews were mobilized and have been looking for her throughout the night.

She is not carrying a phone or identification.
